4/5/2024 0 Comments Cirrus sr22 g2 interiorOur parachute is coming due for replacement and we have the MOST expensive repack because we are a single alternator airplane (need a 2nd battery), the G1 requires composite work, AND we have to have the wiring updated to the new electronic rocket ignition. Mine have ranged from 4000 - 7000, the last one being the most expensive due to tip tank repair and ADS-B transponder install. on my 55 bonanza with it's old systems and attendant complex gear. Interesting since that's way more than I pay for maint. Then a 20k every 10 years for a chute can add 2k in 'costs'. I've "heard" but never seen an invoice that the typical G1 runs about 6-7k a year. How much would a typical G1 annual cost today? sounds like you're a good source to put these rumors to bed. There aren't any 1978 Cirrus to compare apples to apples with a 1978 Bonanza.Īwesome. Insurance on any $650k airplane will be more expensive than a $250K airplane. Owning one will cost more, because they are newer and therefore the hull values are higher than a Bonanza. They are nowhere near as expensive to operate as you think. I've probably got better information on complete ownership costs than your average person. I maintain several dozen Cirrus, and previously ran a Cirrus service center. I'm seeing folks report $6-8K annuals on their SR. Every time someone comes here and starts talking about expenses for a year the Cirrus is always a lot more expensive. So it's basically tires & brakes and very minor wear items that don't cost a lot or take much time to do. Don't forget corrosion control, repainting, etc. Windshields, windows, interior plastics, hoses, grease seals, etc, all those old parts require replacement and add a lot to the cost of an annual on 30-40 year old planes.
